Chapter 92 - Feng Ru (39) (1/2)

To this claim, the woman in a blue uniform replied while going to the door, ”Uhh, sorry. The pieces of evidence against you are solid. Your crazy acts yesterday are witnessed by more than fifty people.”

”N-no, that's...”

”But don't worry, Tang Lan. No matter what, you'll at least be allowed to get yourself a lawyer. Depending on his skill, your sentence will be lightened, but what I'm sure of is that you'll stay behind the bars for a few years. After all, regardless of your drug test result, those bigshots you offended will make sure you'll at least get sentenced for attempted murders.”

Such scary words said with both gloating and disdain, how could Tang Lan accept them? She made a ruckus and cried for justice. ”I, I already said it's not me! I was knocked out when I went to the restroom and when I woke up, I'm already here! How could an unconscious girl do all of that! Can't you guys put more effort in your investigations?!”

”She's awake?” That familiar baritone voice came from the doorway.

”Yeah. Come in, Officer Gu, Chief Zhou. Let's just get this done already.”

”G-Gu Feng...” Tang Lan momentarily fell silent seeing him walking inside the room.

A couple of moments later, she began wriggling in her seat again, begging him to release her there. Unfortunately, the male lead was a rigid person who would never disobey or procedure, not even for his own relatives.

Criminals and suspects were not allowed to be untied before and during the interrogation. Maybe love would be able to force him to go against that. But sadly right now, he held no romantic affection for Tang Lan. In his eyes, she was only a good friend and a little sister. A very disappointing one at that.

”I heard she's an accomplished author and is quite a rich one. Let her contact somebody to get her a lawyer then. After that, take her to her prison cell.” The pudgy senior officer who came in with the male lead declared after asking Tang Lan a few questions.

Hearing that, Song Wuying scoffed on the side. ”Quite the accomplished author, huh? I checked and there's actually a huge problem with her account. Her books are still there, but the contents are changed and tampered with by somebody, probably a jealous relative or close friend.” The policewoman clicked her tongue and shook her head.

”Oh. I suggest then when the visitor comes, asked her or him to lend his or her phone to this girl so she can check what happened. Of course, there will be some papers to be signed to allow devices like that to be brought inside. But in my opinion, it's very important for her to check why there are several plagiarism reports suddenly filed against her,” said Chief Zhou.

”W-what are you saying?” The dejected Tang Lan raised her head and exclaimed in alarm. ”What plagiarism? I never copy from other authors! Everything's my original!”

She took pride in her writing which she produced through shedding blood and sweat. Her writing style and process were also very distinct to her. How could there be any chance of it being similar to any other works?

”Feel free to believe whatever. I'm just saying this out of kindness. Anyway, I also heard your contractor is terminating the contracts for your books. Xiao Ying, why don't you just show her the news? A single article should not take too long to be read, no?”

Though annoyed, Song Wuying did as her immediate superior said.

Not long after, Tang Lan's gaze turned unfocused, having difficulty processing everything she had read. Coldness enveloped her whole body. It was like she suddenly got thrown into and trapped in a freezing lake. She felt so alone and helpless. What exactly was going on? Why was the world suddenly so against her?

She couldn't believe and accept everything since she had a feeling none of these should be happening to her!

”G-Gu Feng...” Her voice weakly trailed off as she looked up to the tall man personally escorting her out of the interrogation room.

”...” The man shook his head.

More than half an hour later, all procedures were completed. That's what Song Wuying and the others said. In the end, she was to be jailed. And she was too muddle-headed to protest if this was the sentence she should get because her mind still couldn't extricate itself from the talk she had with her cousin.
